DB2 Merge Backup for Linux UNIX and Windows

Save time, and improve the speed and efficiency of your backup processes.

IBM DB2 Merge Backup for Linux, UNIX and Windows minimizes the impact for backups and shortens recovery times on production servers. With incremental backup and restore support for pureScale as well, Merge Backup helps ensure full current backups are available and can be restored as quickly as possible.

Allow DBAs to perform higher value tasks and projects due to less application and system downtime.

Accelerate Savings through increased availability to your data

Combine incremental and delta backups with the latest full backup to create a new full and current backup; this means you do not have to take regular full backups.

Use DB2 database history to determine which backups to merge; the identified backups are used to build a new full backup that contains relevant information from the source backups.

Create backups with the same information as a DB2 full backup that can be used instead of the last incremental backup.

Simplify and shorten recovery time for column-organized tables as well.

Save on expensive hardware required to store multiple full backups; it even saves you money because the time spent on expensive backup process is reduced, thus freeing up your DBA’s time for other mission critical work.
